Abstract:

When the pressure of greenhouse gas emission reduction keeps growing, measures of emission reduction are actively taken all over the world. With the industrial reduction potential getting smaller, the research and practice of emission reduction turn to agriculture gradually. Agricultural system can be carbon sources and carbon sink. This paper summarizes the latest policy instrument on the development of carbon-sinking agriculture in Australia, including the practice of carbon tax, carbon trading mechanism, carbon offsets, and to promote low-carbon agricultural technology. Drawing on Australian experience, combined with the domestic agricultural situation, China could further develop carbon-sinking agriculture through the following ways: First, to levy carbon tax on the non-agricultural sectors with high emission. Second, establish the appropriate carbon trading and compensation mechanism. Third, to encourage the relevant technology research and development. Fourth, to promote the change in agricultural production and agricultural modernization.

Key words: carbon-sinking agriculture, climate change, international experience, agricultural modernization
